Power Outage...Can't get email...Exchange 2013

I am a relative newbie to Exchange and Powershell and we are now having an Exchange problem. Last night our power went down. All of the servers are back up and running now. The problem is that we can not get any email. Can't send it or receive it. I have rebooted the Exchange server a couple of different times now. I have also rebooted the DC. When I open up the EMS, I get a connection error. At this point I am not sure what to do. Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

i would first start checking event logs and services - ensure that exchange services are started and database(s) mounted

All of the services are showing to be started. Not sure how to confirm databases are mounted. In the application log I found a few errors. One that seems relevant is

At '4/1/2015 2:29:26 PM' the copy of database 'Mailbox Database 1053569263' on this server was unexpectedly dismounted. The error returned by failover was "There is only one copy of this mailbox database (Mailbox Database 1053569263). Automatic recovery is not available". For mre specific information about the failures, consult the event log on the server for other "ExchangeStoreDb" events.

Does this mean that my database is not mounted?

When I try to connect to the EMS I get the following error:

VERBOSE: Connecting to EXCH1.BELO.local.
New-PSSession : [exch1.belo.local] Connecting to remote server exch1.belo.local failed with the following error
message : Access is denied. For more information, see the about_Remote_Troubleshooting Help topic.

That is followed up with

Failed to connect to an Exchange server in the current site.
Enter the server FQDN where you want to connect.:

When I enter in my exchange server FQDN I get the same error again.

I really didn't get any helpful comments from the "experts" I ended up solving my own issue. I'm really not sure that a subscription to this site is worth the money. There are a lot of other similar sites that don't require a subscription and seem to be just as helpful.
